【 摘 要 】

References(18)Cited-By(1)The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of a colorimetric pupil light reflex(PLR) device (Melan-100®, U.S.A.) in dogs with sudden acquired retinaldegeneration syndrome (SARDS; 16 cases), progressive retinal atrophy (PRA; 10 cases) andoptic pathway disease (6 cases). The colorimetric device detected PLR abnormality in 32,16 and 9 eyes with SARDS, PRA and optic pathway disease, respectively, whereas white lightdetected PLR abnormality in 18, 11 and 9 eyes with SARDS, PRA and optic pathway disease,respectively. SARDS dogs displayed miosis, while optic pathway disease dogs displayedmydriasis in a blue light examination. Thus, colorimetric PLR may be a useful method fordetermining whether electroretinography (ERG) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shouldbe performed for dogs with acute blindness.
